WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?
Roanoke's Business Men En?
dorse The Times.
They Say Prompt Action Should In- T??
lern to Establish Bureau* of Infor?
mation In Northern eitlen- Many tiootl
Suggestions l''r<mi Men of AlTnirs.
A Tihkb reporter yesterday talked
with a number ot Roanoke's foremost ,
business men to ascertain tbeir opinion
In regard to moving promptly in the es?
tablishment of a bureau of information
on Wall street, In Now Vor1.:, for the
purpose of advertising the industrial ad?
vantages of Virginia, and especially of
Southwest Virginia, of which Roanoke
Is the capital and metropolis. j
Dr. [?',. A. Parsons, who has tho honor '
of first suggesting tho scheme, which 1
Tili: Timms heartily seconds, agrees
with Tin: Timms in its leading editorial
of yesterday, which urged t';?ul. the Roa?
noke exchange give this Important mat
tor its immediate attention.
"Roanoke takes tho precedence of nil <
the towns in the South.*' Dr. Parsons
said, '-as a fixture, and if we can by !
this bureau of information, induce
"Northern capital to come to Roanoko, it
will quickly iihds its way also to our
neighboring t am and cities and they
will bo upbullded, too, while Roanoko i
will bo the great center from which this
capital will radiate t.) other Southwest* '
erit Virginia towns.
??This bureau of information must bo 1
in charge of It hustling man. who will |
bu fully Up in Roanoke's advantages
and industrial facilities, lie must be j
able to tell the investor the location of
Roanoko as a railroad center, having
now tho Norfolk and Western and Shcn
andoah Valley railroads, enabling Roa?
noke merchants to place their wares all ,
through Southwestern Virginia and
even in East Tennessee; that tho Ohio 1
extension of the Norfolk and Western
will open up West Virginia and Ohio to
Roanoke, and the Roanoke und South?
ern railroad will give to Roanoko a
great part of tho wholesale trade in
North Carolina, which Richmond has
almost, monopolized for yours.
'?The manager of this bureau must be !
well posted on taxable values in Roan- j
oko; on the condition of banks and the
growth of bank deposits, and on the
number of real estate conveyances in '
Roanoke for the last year or two.
? lie must know that the monthly pay
roll of the industries is over ij.'$00,000.
lie must know all all nhout tho indus?
tries in operation here and those that
are projected, anil must keep promi?
nently before investors' eyes tho chief
elements of raw material available for
manufactories."
F. Ii. Ludwig: "TlIK Timms is right i
in its editorial of this morning. This is
a matter that, should receive prompt
attention. 1 think that there should be
four of these bureaus located at these
points, New York, Boston, Cleveland,
and Philadelphia.
"Tho members of the Real Estate Ex?
change and the land companies should
have a meeting and let it bo known how
innen they are willing to give toward
tho support of these bureaus, in ouch
bureau these ought to be a good man to
send out. from time to time the right
kind of literature .??bout the city und
section to the moneyed men. Ilegin
right away- By January all the oftioes
at the four points J mentioned ought to
be established and in running order."
Jas. S. Simmons: "This is an oppor?
tune time, and wo ought to act quickly.
My idea is that the Real Estate Ex?
change he.ro ought to take tho matter
up with all tho exchanges in the State,
and ascertain what support euch would
give to iL."
A. D. Rico, of C. O'Leary S Co. said:
??I think the establishment of such a
bureau as proposed would be a splendid
thing for Uoanoko and Virginia. I
think it should be established under the
auspices of the State real cstat ? ex?
change, hut do not think Roanoke
ought to wait for the state oxchango to
be organized.
"By tho time money gets easier In
New York tho State real estate ex?
change wiU bo organized and go ac?
tively to work;"
O. I). Derr: 'T believe in the estab?
lishment of the bureau, but I am n >t so
certain that it ought to be on Wall
street. There is more New England
capital darning South now than from
any other section, and 1 think Boston
would be the .place for tho bureau of in?
formation- It might be well to have a
bureau in New York. ?mt one siu>..ld, in
my opinion, be located at Boston
"I think Roanoko ought to establish
?.this bureau herself. There ought to be
:i<> trouble in inducing Northen) capital
ito invest here.
"Virginia real estate pays well. There
do no uncertainty about, it* as there is in
railroad and other stocks. I thiuk
such an Investment as a loan and tru?,t
company, with a good heavy capital,.or
a real estate hank of discount notes, bo
be .based on real estate, would pay weJJ
here, and ought to be among the tlrst
investments secured."
?M.r. Cutcbin. of the firm of Cutchin,
Ellis A: Co., has favored prompt action
in this matter by Roanoko all along,
and thoroughly endorsed tho editorial
in Tum Timms of yesterday.
lion. Jlenry S. Trout, president of the
First National Bank, who is aj'so inter?
ested in a number of land companies,
was also seen by Tin; Timms repor?
ter. ??The idea of establishing a
bureau of information on Wall street is
a good one." said Mr. Trout. "Till-:
Timms is right, in urging that prompt
tuition be taken."
E. IL Stewart, who is also largely in?
terested in land companies, real estate
generally, and many other important
enterprises, regarded the project favor?
ably. "Roanoke should move in this
matter," said Mr. Stewart, "without
waiting for the organization of the State
Exchange. It is a Roanoke idea 1 nd
CE, VA., THURSDAY B
others Interested, should take hold of 1
this matter immediately, for now is tho '
opportunity on Wall street, while tho !
confidences of capitalists in railroad |
stocks and bonds is weak.
'?If, after Roanoko has gohe forward |
and established bureaus of information, j
surrounding towns see tho advantages]
accruing, and are willing to bear their i
part of the expense, then the question '.
of taking them in can be considered.-' !

L?::i)ox, Nov. SO.?j Special]?Uhirty- j
eight Parnell itc members of tlio House
of Commons last night requested Par- ;
nell to eon veno a meeting of tin1 Nation- i
allst members of Hie House to-tlay.
Parnell declined to grant their request j
despite the fact that the rules part pro
vide that a meeting shall be called
when twenty members sign a request
for stach a purpose.
Several of tho l'arnellite members
complain that they we:"- not informed
of all the facts in connection with Iliad- j
stone's attitude toward Partiell asset
forth in his letter to Merely when they
voted yesterday to retain Partiell in the '
leadership of the Irish party.
A stormy scene occurred at the !
meeting of l'arnellite members held j
last evening, after the letter from
Gladstone to Merely had been made '<
public. !
McCarthy, in not making known the ;
contents at the morning meeting, was
severely criticised. A majority of Na
tionaUst members present last night
said they had believed previous to the |
mooting in the morning that Parnell. j
after his re-eleclion. would not take an
active part In politics for a few months.
'They now believed that if tlladstono's
letter had been read at tho morning
meeting the result on tin.' motion to re?
tain Mr. Parnell in the leadership
would'have been different.
The Truth, Henry l.aboucheve s pa?
per, to-day abandons Parnell.
Parnell reconsidered bis delermIna-j
tion, and the lV.rnellii.es held n mooting
this morning. There was a Wide diver?
gence of opinion, the majority favoring
Parnell':; resignation of tho leadership.
' and the minority vehemently protest?
ing. Another meeting will be held this
evening.
Par hell's speech at the opt ning of the
. meeting- gave no indication that he in
1 tended to alter his decision to retain
the leadership. Nolan was the only
! member present who favored Pnrnell's
! retention of the olliee.
McCarthy, whose frequent allusions
to ParneU's great sacrifices for the Irish
cause were applauded, said ho hoped
that after due consideration Parnell
would sei* his way to retire for the
present and save the sacred cause of
I rlsh indepcndor.c ?.
Sexton said he regretted thatOlad
I stone's views regarding the leadership
of the Nationalist, party had been with?
held at yesterday's meeting.
Ilo sympathetically appealed to Par
i nell to reconsider his position. "The
question," ho said, "had assumed a new
? phase since tho publication of tllad
' stone's letter to Morloy."
The Irish party fully recognized Par?
neU's tremendous services, but it is felt
that personal considerations must be
, sacrificed for the sake of the cause.
Sexton advocated that every Parnel
I lite should record his opinion us to tho
leadership of the party and thus BOttlc
the question.
, It was hoped that the cable dispatch
from tho delegation in America would
! reach Ixmdou before the meeting ad
' journed, but none was received.
Much importance is attached to the
! message from Hillen, O'ltricn and other
delegates, and tho decision of the meet?
ing to re-assemble at. live o'clock was
: caused by the hope that the dispatch
would arrive in the interval.
When the Parncllites returned to tho
lobby from the room in which the meet?
ing was held, they were surrounded by
' excited groups of Liberals, who closely
questioned them regarding the proceed?
ings.
i They replied that nothing would be
doc'.ded until at-tcr ."> o"ch ck.
The Nationalist members met again
in the after-noon, but adjourned until
. Monday without ti Mug any delinite
' action.
To-day's events have not relieved the
tension, but rather have accentuated
the complications of the situation.
j Gladstone's letter produced a strong
impression upon the Nationalists last
! evening, and, from indications given at
tho hastily summoned meeting, it
seemed that there was every reason to
believe that to-day would bring about,
new developments which would lead to
an amicable arrangement of the trouble.
Hut, although the conferences held
? bo-day prove that a great divergence of
i opinion exists, they show that Parnell
is (Irmly re-solved to adhere to his dc
| cision, and that, unless a vote of no
i confidence is passed by his followers, he
will not abdicate the leadership.
I To-day, after a long and earnest dis
cession of Uho situation, in which most
\ candid ami outspoken opinions were
given, Parnell positively gained a vic
i tory.
j The members, however, who advocat
? cd Iiis retention delin eated the idea of a
I final decision until the opinion of the
? entire party shall have been recorded.
TU- meeting adjourned after nearly
ihre?* hours of spei.eh-making. in order
to obtain the views of absent members
of the party.
j A careful Inquiry brings out the fact
that little doubt exists as to the upshot
: of the matter. When the party reas?
sembles on Monday, it is probable that
Parnell will again be urged to retire by
a si Ction of his supporters, but already
a reaction in his favor has set in. and if
a vole is taken it is expected that a
large majority will he found upon his
side.
Welsh members of the parly held a
mooting to-day, and resolved that thov
were convinced that the price i f retain?
ing Parnell in leadership \m i Id ho a
TIMEfc
t 27, 1890. PI
they are more determined than ever t >
rally to the support of Gladstone.
A number of prominent men visited
Parnoll last night and asked him to re?
consider bis position as leader of the
party. He showed no disposition to re?
tire from the leadership.
McCarthy explains that ho did not
communicate tho contents of Gladstone's
letter to the Parnellite meeting yester?
day because Gladstone had requested
him to consider it as confidential if ho
found that Parnoll contemplated spon?
tan? Otis action.
At the beginning of the meeting Mc?
Carthy says that he and his colleagues
wore ignorant of the course Parncll
would pursue, tho prevail in;;- question
being that after receiving practically a
vote of confidence, he would retire from
the head of the party, at any rate tem?
porarily.
After Parhell's unanimcm; re-election
McCarthy found himself in a dill'.cult
position, and concluded that nothing
would be gained by re-opening the
question.
Tho illness of Timothy llealy, and
tho absence of Dillon and OTlrleu em
barrass the rank and tile of the Nation?
alist party.
Cable dispatches were sent las: night
to tho party's delegates in the United
States, giving the details of the crisis
and asking for an expression of their
views concerning Gladstone's u!'.:
